Publicly accessible: reviewed and audited by hundreds of teams that confirmed there's no backdoor. Venezuelan, Russian and Chinese governments didn't find the holes, even having access to the code. If they did, they would be exploiting it to.... reeducate.

Yeah, I would expect to trust that. Still, you said yourself, the problem is that is used by dissidents. And we can't have that, right?

Unrelated to what the previous person is saying (banned because it was used by dissidents), but still, we have the source code. If you're arguing they are somehow accessing the data, what's encrypted and what isn't is known.

For their own good. Individual thinkers tend to have short lives. Just look how many people thinked themselves of a window in Russia on the last year.

So much from broadening... As soon as I mention any other suddenly there's no point checking other countries.

Keep going, then. Any other country to mention, seeing how it's important to you? Russia? China? Italy? India? Pakistan?

I somehow feel your "broad" is actually quite narrow. Usually happens with the whatabautisms

I'm not aware of the kingdom of whataboutistan. Is it related to this post somehow?

Yeah. Telegram, should be next, there's a huge risk with it too. And email! Social networks too, just in case. And postal mail, we can't forget that. We should crack down any form of uncensored communication.

All for the benefit of the people, of course. \s

Why countries that do not prosecute political dissent bock apps used by political dissenters? /s

Because that's not our threat model.

I want to be anonymous for the sites I visit. I want my ISP, who's likely selling my data, to have none. I want to use a WiFi without anybody sniffing.

I'm lucky enough to live in a county were I'm not prosecuted for my ideas or who I am, and I'm not doing anything illicit aside from torrent.

So the hassle doesn't seem needed in this case. If I think Mullvad can harm me if they know my name, then I wouldn't use it at all, even with private payments.

Oooh, so now it's a contract thing... Still BS and made up, but I like how you backtrack.

And yes, I've worked in companies that require a work app. Some gave a phone, others allow to install in your. Current is a fortune 50 that allows installing on your own using Intune.

And you can be sure they are smart enough to not try to take away employee property because contracts with illegal terms are not enforceable, so they don't even try.

I guess you're used to being treated badly, in which case I'm sorry for you.

There is no law, because its not illegal to do. Or maybe I'm wrong and their is a law specifically saying its okay to do this.

They have the right to take your property but that law isn't written anywhere? I agree you're wrong, but not on what you think
